Chapter 37: Contract

From the attitude of the old priest, it can be seen that it is difficult to be cheaper.

Su Xiao doesn't know if there is still a chance to come here again. Even if there is a chance, the Church's merits are not easy to get.

"Father, do you want the Holy Grail?"

"Holy Grail?!"

The smile on the old priest's face gradually faded, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the back of Su Xiao's hand.

"Sure enough, you are related to the Holy Grail War. I didn't find the Command Spell when I first met you. Could it be that you are..."

Thinking of a certain possibility, the old priest was a little frightened.

"You don't think I'm a heroic spirit, do you?"

Su Xiao leaned on the seat, crossed his two legs, and looked relaxed.

"Ah."

The old priest laughed dumbly. He has seen many heroic spirits. The speech and behavior of those heroic spirits are obviously different from those of modern people. Moreover, the bodies of heroic spirits are constructed from energy, and the old priest has a way to identify them.

"Not the Master, nor the Heroic Spirit, are you planning to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

The old priest's eyes were a bit fiery. Su Xiao was able to blow up Ryuudou Temple, which showed that he had something special. If he joined the camp of the old priest, it would be a strong help.

"Who knows, but you may need my help in the future."

Su Xiao looked at the old priest with a smile on his face. He usually smiled when he communicated with non-hostile plot characters, which could hide other emotions.

"let me consider it..."

The old priest was entangled in his heart, and after a long time, he nodded.

"Just take it as a 5% discount for you, wait for me for a while."

When the old priest left the church, he should have gone to the secret room in the basement of the church. After a while, the old priest returned with three items in his hands.

"This is the soul condensed ore, holy water, and finally the ghost hunter."

The three items were placed in front of Su Xiao, and he put away the soul crystal (large) and holy water directly. As for the ghost hunter, this is a precise bow and crossbow.

Just as Su Xiao wanted to pull the crossbow string, the old priest handed over a small winch.

"With this thing, it's impossible for manpower to pull... What a joke!"

The old priest's eyes widened.

crunch~

Su Xiao pulled the crossbow string. The attack power of this crossbow is similar to that of the Spider Queen, and you can imagine how heavy it is.

After winding the ghost hunter with his bare hands, Su Xiao's mana was slowly consumed, and an energy arrow was gradually generated on the ghost hunter.

"What did you say?"

Su Xiao was focusing on the ghost hunter just now, but didn't hear what the old priest said.

The old priest glanced at the small winch in his hand and shook his head.

"It's okay, what did we say before?"

"The Holy Grail."

Su Xiao hold an item ghost hunter. The precise range of this thing is within 150 meters. If it is further away, it will not be able to hit the target. Don't underestimate the 150 meters. For a weapon like a crossbow, 150 meters is already supernatural.

"Yes, the Holy Grail, are you interested in helping me win the Holy Grail? I can give you..."

The old priest had some expectations.

"No."

Su Xiao put away the ghost hunter, this thing is good, powerful, silent, suitable for mid-range assassination.

"Have you considered the mood of my old fellow for your refusal so simply? I just gave you a 5% discount."

The old priest was a little unhappy.

"I refused because of your feelings."

Su Xiao's words obviously made the old priest choked, and the old priest's face began to look ugly.

"Father, with your physical condition, it's fine to live to be 80 or 90 years old, so why bother to die in such a hurry."

"What's the meaning."

"It means... whoever wins the Holy Grail will die!"

"you..."

The old priest was angry, and after looking at Su Xiao, he turned his head.

"Father, don't get me wrong, you helped me once before, and I couldn't get out of Ryuudou Temple without that gun."

Su Xiao took out an apple, took a big bite, and the full juice flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Then why don't you help me?"

The old priest's anger subsided a little, and he heard something in Su Xiao's words.

"There are some things that cannot be mentioned. As far as I know, Father, you participated in a Holy Grail War?"

"Yes, I oversaw the Third Holy Grail War."

"See the Holy Grail?"

"I see."

The old priest rubbed his hands on the trousers, and his eyes were a little dull.

"Since you have seen it, you are still pursuing that thing. You should be clear about the principle of that thing. The first two Great Holy Grails are indeed priceless treasures. As for the third one, I won't say you can guess it. It is now the fourth one. Great Holy Grail, guess how many evil thoughts are gathered in that thing, you just… want to die?"

Su Xiao stared at the old priest, there was only one core left of the apple in his hand.

"Who will be willing if you don't pursue it? Not only I know it, but the Matou family, the Tohsaka family, and the Einzbern family all know that it's an all-purpose wishing machine, so what if it's dirty, just give up?"

The old priest sighed and reached out to Su Xiao.

"give me a cigarette."

Su Xiao handed a cigarette.

"Although I still don't know what your name is, I trust you more than some collaborators. At least you are not hostile to me."

The old priest spit out a puff of green smoke. Under the leadership of Su Xiao, the old priest relapsed into smoking. It may also be that there have been too many bad things recently.

Under the intervention of Samsara Paradise, the relationship between Su Xiao and the old priest would not be hostile, so the old priest would trust Su Xiao. After Su Xiao successfully bombed Ryuudou Temple, this trust was significantly improved.

"Don't you feel unwilling to see it with your own eyes? Yes, the temptation of the Great Holy Grail is indeed irresistible."

Su Xiao didn't speak anymore. The reason why he stayed in the church was because he had other purposes.

"You mean, you're not interested in the Holy Grail at all?"

"No, interested, I'm curious about the texture of that thing."

"Cough cough cough..."

The old priest had a dry cough, and along with the dry cough, blue smoke spewed out of his mouth.

"Curious about texture? Your peculiar idea..."

The old priest was a little disapproving. In his opinion, Su Xiao was not completely disinterested in the Holy Grail.

"That's right, Father."

"how."

After some chat, the two were obviously familiar with each other.

"Can you contact the Einzberns?"

"This...secret."

The old priest bought a pass, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"If I can get in touch, I'm going to get in touch with the Einzbern family. Don't worry, I won't join forces with them to deal with you. If I succeed in getting on the line, I will appropriately stop them from making trouble with you."

"I consider..."

"I don't have time to think about this matter. I'm in a hurry in the near future."

Su Xiao wants to speed up his actions, Brother Wu Umbrella may twist his braids at any time.

"I can understand that you can help me contain the Einzbern family?"

"Yes, but some things need to be used as bargaining chips with them."

The old priest began to struggle, and his ideal result was that Su Xiao joined his camp to help him grab the Great Holy Grail.

"Yes, but there is a precondition. You can't unite with them to deal with my faction. Although I don't know how you know my situation, I can't spread the word about my pursuit of the Holy Grail."

The old priest took out a piece of white parchment, and after writing and drawing on it, handed the parchment to Su Xiao. This is a 'self-enforcement certificate', something similar to an oath.

The old priest can be described as a treacherous sly, and he had already prepared this thing before.

Glancing at the content of the 'self-compulsion certificate', Su Xiao signed this contract. One thing the old priest didn't know is that this 'self-compulsion certificate' has limitations. It is only aimed at creatures with magical powers in their bodies, or It is valid only for the natives of the Holy Grail world.

Su Xiao is not an indigenous inhabitant of the Holy Grail World, and there is no magic in his body. There is no essential difference between signing this thing and signing on toilet paper.
